Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The window hinge on the rear window of my 2003 Gmc yukon became disconnected from the window. This has been used very rarely, and the vehicle is always garaged. It seems like a manufacturer defect, or design flaw...not something that failed because of normal wear and tear. Without repair, this could lead to window separation and harm to other vehicles following me on the highway.”

NHTSA complaint #10166532, filed 2006-08, 43,000 miles
